Michael Lemke’s Reviews > Demon Fish: Travels Through the Hidden World of Sharks > Status Update

A clear credit to her background as a reporter, the book benefits from the deluge of conversations that Juliet Eilperin has with various scientists, traders, fishermen, etc. that each bring different perspectives and insight into the world of sharks.

The book begins by discussing the significance of sharks to different cultures; Papúa New Guinea, Hawaii, etc. It then delves into the many ways sharks influence and have been influenced by our society and the toll we are taking on them. The book takes more of a societal look at sharks rather than a scientific exploration.
